Congrats on surviving the downsizing! I have watched you survive for many many years now. I know, as you do, that you would have been fine no matter how the cards were dealt. That doesn't mean you didn't worry, of course. Now you can go into your trip in a couple weeks without this hanging over you. Cool!

Does this mean you don't have to endure seasonal's this year?

I think its time for a drink, don't you?

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear. {Henry Wadsworth Longfellow}
